2020 Map of Grubbs

About this map

Grubbs sits at the intersection of a complex water management system in northeastern Arkansas, where the Cache River and its Old Channel wind through a landscape defined by drainage and agriculture. The reliance on water control is evident in the numerous engineered waterways like Gum Pond Ditch, Tiger Ditch, and Skillet Ditch, which redirect flow across the flat terrain. This map reveals a network of rural settlements including Uno, Pitts, and North Pitts, each connected by a grid of county roads such as Rockwright Rd and Chilson Rd. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including Denton Island Cem, Hankins-Sullins Cem, and Clark Cem. The persistence of these small communities and family-named landmarks, alongside natural features like Hale Lake and Tupelo Slough, highlights the enduring rural character of this region where Jackson, Craighead, and Poinsett counties meet.
